NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA
feature.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Navigate on Autopilot, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
When using Autosteer on a controlled-access
road (such as a highway or freeway),
Navigate on Autopilot guides
Model S to off-ramps and interchanges based on your
navigation route. Along the highway portion
of a navigation route, Navigate on Autopilot also changes lanes to prepare for exits and to
minimize the driving time to your destination.
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot does not make driving autonomous. You must pay attention to the road, keep your hands on the steering yoke at all times, and remain aware of your navigation route.
WARNING: As is the case with normal driving, be extra careful around blind corners, highway interchanges, and exits because obstacles can appear quickly and at any time.
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot may not recognize or detect oncoming vehicles, stationary objects, and special-use lanes such as those used exclusively for bikes, carpools, emergency vehicles, etc. Remain alert at all times and be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to do so can cause damage, injury or death.

Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control enabled, Model S is designed to respond as follows when approaching
intersections controlled by stop signs, stop lines, or road markings:
Type of IntersectionVehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model S assumes the right of way and continues straight
without slowing down or stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model S detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line
displayed on the instrument panel. When you want to proceed,
you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Model S may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).

Stop Sign and Road Marking
Road Marking
Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red
stop line displayed on the instrument panel. When you want to
proceed through the intersection, you must briefly press the
accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an
intersection controlled by a stop sign by briefly pressing the
accelerator pedal before Model S has stopped, your confirmation is ignored. Model S is not designed to proceed
through a stop sign without stopping.
NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have
engaged a turn signal, you must turn the steering yoke yourself
(which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn at an
intersection.
WARNING: Model S also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels Autosteer) and briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to continue through the roundabout.Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
Summon allows you to automatically park and
retrieve Model S while you are standing
outside the vehicle. Summon uses data from
the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model S forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model S a longer distance while
steering around objects, you can use Smart
Summon
(if equipped) and your mobile
phone. Smart Summon allows your vehicle to
find you (or you can send your vehicle to a
chosen location). See Smart Summon on page 115.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
WARNING: Summon is designed and intended for use only on parking lots and driveways on private property where the surrounding area is familiar and predictable.
WARNING: Summon is a BETA feature. You must continually monitor the vehicle and its surroundings and stay prepared to take immediate action at any time. It is the driver

NOTE: Lane Departure Avoidance does not
warn you of lane departures, or provide steering interventions, if the associated turn signal is on, which indicates an intentional
lane change.WARNING: Lane Departure Avoidance is intended to help keep you safe, but it does not work in every situation and does not replace the need to remain attentive and in control.
WARNING: Keep your hands on the steering yoke and drive attentively at all times.
WARNING: Steering interventions are minimal and are not designed to move Model S out of its driving lane. Do not rely on steering interventions to avoid side collisions.
Emergency Lane Departure
